Sell Their Goods Despite Warnings
and Gather at Border for Departure
BUCHAREST (JTA) — Large groups of unorganized
Jewish emigrants are massing at border towns, preparing
for a "march to Palestine," despite repeated warnings from
responsible Jewish organizations.
Frantic appeals for assistance have been received at the
offices here of several large Jewish' groups. The refugees
are short of food and clothing
and are, living in makeshift
houses, where several babies
have already been born. A team
of Jewish relief workers has
left for the frontier to organize
aid projects there.
It is expected that with the
arrival of milder weather unor-
ganized emigration from Ro-
mania will reach a new peak.
In the Jewish quarter in Bu-
harest, Jews may be seen daily
elling their belongings befqre
setting off to join one of Hhe
groups leaving for the border.
Meanwhile, at Targu Mures,
attorneys representing the local
Jewish community, have lodged
an appeal against the acquittal
of Dr. Karolyi Wanchsakovsky,
formerly chief physician of the
ghetto in the town.
Sentenced to eight months'
imprisonment for allowing the
deportation of sick Jews from the
ghetto to gas chambers, although
he was instructed to detain them
in the hospital, WanchasakovskY
appealed and was acquitted.

A section on "movement of
persons" restates the U.S. policy
of retaining responsibility for
the care of displaced persons,
pending their movement else-

"facilitate the emigration to
other countries of those displaced
persons unwilling to be repatria-
